Docs refactor (#480)
Big docs refactor! Motivation is to make it easier for people to find
resources they are looking for. To accomplish this, there are now three
main sections:

- Getting Started: steps for getting started, walking through most core
functionality
- Modules: these are different modules of functionality that langchain
provides. Each part here has a "getting started", "how to", "key
concepts" and "reference" section (except in a few select cases where it
didnt easily fit).
- Use Cases: this is to separate use cases (like summarization, question
answering, evaluation, etc) from the modules, and provide a different
entry point to the code base.

There is also a full reference section, as well as extra resources
(glossary, gallery, etc)

How-To Guides
=============
A chain is made up of links, which can be either primitives or other chains.
Primitives can be either `prompts <../prompts.html>`_, `llms <../llms.html>`_, `utils <../utils.html>`_, or other chains.
The examples here are all end-to-end chains for specific applications.
They are broken up into three categories:
1. `Generic Chains <generic_how_to.html>`_: Generic chains, that are meant to help build other chains rather than serve a particular purpose.
2. `CombineDocuments Chains <combine_docs_how_to.html>`_: Chains aimed at making it easy to work with documents (question answering, summarization, etc).
3. `Utility Chains <utility_how_to.html>`_: Chains consisting of an LLMChain interacting with a specific util.
